Forecasts

Fatal Flaw (4/9), Vulcanite (5/1), World Of Alice (13/2), Poblano (10/1), Salenio Peninsula (12/1), Oxalis Gold (12/1), Little Ballerina (12/1), Queen Of Love (18/1), Cocomelon (33/1), Valieva (66/1), Stars And Bra's (80/1)

VULCANITE is just about the safest pick but has little room for error. Fatal Flaw should be involved at the business end as well, while Salenio Peninsula is perhaps the most interesting of those left.
